Government-grade work, without the bureaucracy.
CypressBit is a small, senior engineering team based in San Antonio, TX. We build custom software, open-source platforms, and applied AI/ML systems for federal, state, and commercial clients — and we're always interested in hearing from people who want to do that kind of work well.
What working with us is like.
Small, senior team
No layers of management between you and the client. You scope it, you build it, you own the outcome.
Work that matters
Federal modernization projects, civic-tech platforms serving hundreds of thousands of users, and open-source software used in production.
Modern, transparent stack
Python, Django, React, Flutter, Docker/Kubernetes, and AI/ML tooling — documented, tested, and built to be handed off cleanly.
Roles we regularly engage.
We don't always have salaried openings posted, but we maintain an active network of engineers and specialists we bring onto federal proposals, teaming arrangements, and client engagements as work is awarded.
